How to make peach iced tea – with this recipe it’s easy, quick and requires few ingredients. You can modify it as you like. The refreshing summer classic tastes heavenly fruity and provides a real cooling, just like my watermelon lemonade or orange lemonade. A detailed peach iced tea recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found here at the bottom.
Make peach iced tea instead of buying it
Besides lemon iced tea, peach iced tea is probably one of the popular classics among iced teas in summer. However, such drinks from the supermarket often contain far too much sugar and unhealthy additives.
So it’s best to make peach iced tea at home. Then you know which ingredients to use. You determine the sugar content yourself.
Besides, just like lemonade, iced tea tastes much better homemade than store-bought.
And last but not least, it is very easy to make iced tea yourself. So why buy any?
Experiment with ingredients
By the way, you can modify this peach iced tea recipe to your taste. That’s how you create the perfect drink for you.
Depending on how sweet you like your drink, you can adjust the amount of sugar. You can also omit the sugar completely if you want the drink to be healthy and not sweetened.
As an alternative to sugar, you can use agave syrup or maple syrup, among other things, like for my basil lemonade. Then add it to the hot peach mixture after it’s cooked.
In addition, you can refine the peach iced tea with fresh herbs. For example, similar to the strawberry lemonade, add a few mint leaves.
You can also experiment with the amount of lemon juice. Instead of lemon juice, the drink tastes just as delicious with lime juice.
If you don’t want your tea to be too strong, reduce the amount of black tea in the recipe. Then the drink will have more fruit flavor and less tea flavor.
By the way, if you want to make an iced tea for kids or for yourself without black tea, try my berry iced tea.
